American Fire Company LLC

American Fire Company LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Packwood, Washington, supplies wildland firefighting equipment and services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides, competing exclusively in that posture across its recent federal footprint.

American Fire Company LLC is a for-profit limited liability company and SBA-certified woman-owned small business operating across NAICS 541612 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. The company delivers Type 6 fire engines, water handling equipment (portable tanks, pumps, hoses), transportation resources, lodging, and trained firefighting personnel to support wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response across U.S. Forest Service regions. All 47 recent awards carry total small business set-asides; the vendor does not compete in full-and-open procurements.

Customer concentration is near-total with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The Forest Service accounts for 100% of awards across all 47 recent contracts and IDVs—32 awards ($2.3 million combined potential value) flow through the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6), 8 awards ($1.9 million) through the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement system covering multiple regions, 4 awards ($208 thousand) through the Northern Region (Region 1), 2 awards ($88 thousand) through Forest Service general accounts, and 1 award ($79 thousand) through the Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5). The top two funding sources—Region 6 and NIFC—jointly represent $4.2 million (93% of combined potential value). Obligated dollars total $2.2 million across $4.5 million in combined potential value, indicating 49% of ceiling authority drawn down to date.

The company holds five parent IDIQs and BPAs anchoring its service delivery model. The top vehicle is an Indefinite Delivery Contract (1202SB22T7378, $250,000 ceiling, total small business set-aside, ultimate completion June 6, 2025) covering water handling equipment and personnel services across Forest Service Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 in the Western United States, with 12 task orders ($772 thousand combined potential value). Two additional large IDCs awarded in February and May 2025 each carry $500,000 ceilings under total small business set-asides: one covers Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 (East Zone) through May 30, 2030, the second covers Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) through May 29, 2030. Smaller vehicles include a BPA (AG04H1B167170, $281 thousand combined potential value across 10 task orders) and IDCs 1204H119T7121 and 1204H126T7025, each carrying $250,000 ceilings. All vehicles operate as firm-fixed-price contracts through the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, enabling rapid issuance of Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements during fire season.

Activity has grown substantially year over year. Awards per year rose from 2 in 2022 to 11 in 2026 (through August), with 4 awards in 2023, 6 in 2024, and 4 in 2025. Two new $500,000 IDVs awarded in February and May 2025 extend the vendor's contract period through May 2030, reducing near-term recompete pressure. However, the oldest parent vehicle (1202SB22T7378) completes June 6, 2025, and carries $772 thousand in remaining potential value at risk if not renewed; recompete exposure across the portfolio through end of 2026 includes approximately $1 million in combined potential value from vehicles approaching or at expiration.

The Service Contract Inventory dataset captures minimal coverage of American Fire Company LLC's federal activity. SCI shows one record in FY2024, coded as a sub-award with zero FTEs reported — a methodological artifact reflecting SCI's $150,000 threshold exclusion for most delivery orders and its lack of visibility into goods and equipment procurement. SCI does not represent the vendor's true federal footprint; the award portfolio shows $4.5 million in combined potential value across 47 contracts, the vast majority of which fall below SCI's reporting floor or consist of equipment supply rather than services capturing FTE labor hours.

American Fire Company LLC operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontractor footprint in recent awards. The vendor builds and delivers its own firefighting teams and equipment supply chains; teaming and sub-engagement data are absent from the portfolio. Performance locations span the Western and Eastern U.S. Forest Service regions, with recent work cited in Packwood, Wenatchee, and Baker City, Washington; Dalton Gardens and Pendleton, Oregon; and Springfield and Sandy, Oregon, supporting regional dispatch centers and incident response across wildfire suppression operations.
